Every Dog Needs a Home foverer

I was amazed by this dog Rex because he was very gentle around my dogs when he came to visit me. They seemed to get along very well. I wanted to know more about the Shiba Inu. I had to investigate a little bit more about this breed of dog. I asked my brother because he owns 2 of them. I wondered why he was always getting over the fence. Also I wondered why he would run away when he was called to come home? I found out that a Shiba Inu will dart out if given half a chance. This is a dog breed that is very attached to his human family members and can't stand being isolated from them. To think of keeping a Shiba in the backyard or in the garage is a mistake because that bold, bright natured dog will create loud noise and be destructive in that situation. He will be charming and affectionate around his human family, but has a sense of humor about him when it comes to human commands. A Shiba Inu is very challenging to raise and train. A high-spirited, an independent spirit, has to alway...

Sitting and physical inactivity may increase risk of urinary tract symptoms

-

Prolonged sitting time and low physical activity levels were linked with the development of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in a BJU International study of 69,795 middle-aged Korean men.
A team led by researchers at the Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, in South Korea, found that the incidence rate of LUTS--which relate to urine storage and/or voiding disturbances--was 39 per 1000 person-years. (A person-year is the number of years of follow-up multiplied by the number of people in the study.)

"The results support the importance of both reducing sitting time and promoting physical activity for preventing LUTS," said lead author Dr. Heung Jae Park. "Further studies are still needed to examine the influence of sedentary behaviors on LUTS and its determinants," added senior author Dr. Seungho Ryu.

Never Will I Ever

-
During my childhood I was a cat person. We probably had about 6 or 7 cats before I graduated from high school. After meeting my husband in college, who had a dog, I quickly became a dog person. I figured out that I really liked dogs, but not just any dog; I liked large breed dogs. The bigger the better. The thought of owning a small dog, especially a Chihuahua was incomprehensible to me and something I said I would never do. My husband's dog, Zoe, lived with us for about 16 years. She was there as we navigated through our different life stages from being a couple, to getting married, and then having children. She passed away when the kids were in Kindergarten/Pre-K; about 6 years ago. Once she was gone we didn't really consider getting another dog. It was nice to be free and take off on adventures and vacations without having to worry about someone watching the dog. About a year ago we contemplated the idea of bringing a pet into our home. My husband thought it would be good fo...

Ketogenic diets reduce athletes' anaerobic performance

-
Athletes who turn to ketogenic diets to help their performance in high-intensity, short duration sports may want to think again, according to new research from Saint Louis University. In a small study, Edward Weiss, Ph.D., associate professor of nutrition and dietetics at Saint Louis University, together with SLU graduate students Kym Wroble, R.D. and Morgan Trott, R.D., examined the exercise performance of 16 men and women after following either a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet or a high-carbohydrate diet for four days. His team then tested the anaerobic exercise performance of the participants. The research team found that after following the ketogenic diet, the participants did not perform as well at the exercise tasks. "In popular discussions, the term 'ketogenic diet' often is used as a broader term for low carb diets, including Atkins," Weiss said. "However, the language is often confused. People often think low carb and high protein. Thi...
